Bear Grips Pro ShopsEmbroidered Soccer Hoodies: Premium Club Look for Sidelines
- Embroidery creates a raised, textured logo that looks more premium than screen print.
- Best suited for simple logos -- embroidery handles fewer colors and fine detail than print.
- Snapback hats and cuffed winter hats use embroidery by default in the Bear Grips catalog.
- Hoodies with embroidery are available on select styles through the Done-For-You service.
Embroidery vs. Screen Print for Soccer Hoodies
Screen print is flat against the fabric and handles complex, multi-color logos well. Embroidery creates a raised, stitched logo that feels more expensive and reads as more premium at a distance.
For soccer clubs with simple crests or wordmarks, embroidery is a strong choice. It holds up through washing better than print in some cases, and it catches light in a way that photographs well.
Embroidery limits are worth knowing: fine detail and gradients do not translate well. A photo-realistic logo works better as print. A classic crest with 2-3 colors shines with embroidery.

Embroidery requires a digitized version of your logo. This means converting vector artwork into stitch paths that the embroidery machine follows. Our team handles this conversion.
What helps: a high-res PNG or SVG of your logo. What makes embroidery harder: very thin lines, small text under 0.25 inches tall, and gradients or shadows. Simplify these elements before submitting for best results.
A good test: if your logo looks clean at the size of a quarter, it will embroider well. If it has details that disappear at that scale, consider screen print instead.
Embroidered Hats: The Easiest Win for Soccer Clubs
If you want the embroidery look without the hoodie complexity, start with hats. Snapbacks and winter hats embroider cleanly, look premium, and sell at strong retail prices.
A Richardson rope hat ($29.86 VIP base) or Yupoong snapback ($29.86 VIP base) with your club crest embroidered on the front panel is a staple for coaches, parents, and players alike. Retail at $45-55 with a $15-25 margin.

Can I get my soccer club hoodie embroidered?
Yes, on select hoodie styles. Contact the Bear Grips team or use Done-For-You VIP to confirm which styles support embroidery for your specific logo.
Does embroidery cost more than screen print?
Base prices reflect the decoration method. Embroidered hats in the catalog are priced comparably to printed items. Check the catalog for specific style pricing.
Is embroidery more durable than screen print?
Both methods are durable with proper washing. Embroidery holds up well to repeated washing and does not fade or crack the way some print methods can over time.

Provide a high-res PNG or SVG. Our team digitizes the artwork for embroidery. Simple logos with 2-3 colors produce the best results.
